Cheers phil

Happy to commit once the arrangements are firmed up, if the invitation is extended over the border

Your always welcome Mr Beefy. If I get no suggestions im thinking of similar venues to last time. Or maybe a diff pub away from Southend. Come guys some suggestions plz

I know it's not in Southend but it's on the way out, but the carpenters is quite nice now or the hawk at battlesbridge??

You can come out of Southend the Rochford way and come past either of them?

Happy to commit once the arrangements are firmed up, if the invitation is extended over the border

Bloody forigeiners!!!!

I think the Hawk at Battlesbridge would be an excellent place

I think the Hawk at Battlesbridge would be an excellent place

I agree, would save those coming from a bit father away around 20 minutes driving too.

Ok 27th October 2012 at the Hawk in Battlesbridge. Be there or miss out.

Oh need a popular time

12 noon to get a table like last time?

Or are you planning in the evening?

12 noon is good for me. I shall set this in stone in 24 hours time unless there are major objections

Just 12 noon increases the chance of getting a decent size table if you can't book a fair number in advance.

Like at the Harvester last time.

They got a bit of a shock when 18 of us walked in.

i mite be game for this.. i will have to get my jabs first tho, been a while since i gone to southend.

When I'm back from hols I'll try and drop in to have a chat with them about table, they might reserve one for us,

Ok I am making an executive decision. Here we go. 12noon at the Hawk at Battlesbridge on 27th October 2012. Gives peeps time for jabs lol. Cheers Mr essexocty. If you could do that it would be ace because as bossfox says te look on their faces last time was ace. Maybe it was just the foreign looking beefy from the darkside that made them that way
